Was planning to do some striper fishing tonight on lake cumberland and just realized by the time I was planning to start, that a cold front will have passed. I would like to hear some people's experiences with how such a front, combined with time of year, etc., will affect the bite. What tacticts to use with such a front, etc.?
when i'm going that soon after the pasing of a front i always start with what i feel should be the normal pattern or what they were doing just before the front.I fish the same areas just look a little closer to the dominant structure.
channel bends or breaklines.sometimes if the bait pulls to the middle and they suspend they may not be on anything usually that happens the in the next 24 hrs providing high blues and high pressure.although i think sometime the fisherman make it harder to catch the fish than the fish themselves,i did that at our last tournament.stripers loveto hang close to old creek and river channels,hybrids too but thry venture a little more i think.
Buddy of mine fished the lower end last night and seems the water was 75-78 degrees. So it appears it may be "warmth" that might damper the stripers rather than a cold front.
